Chapter Nine
The next morning, in the early light at 0640hrs Gwaine made his way over towards the Block, he got near it a few minutes before Morgana walked out the door. She saw him straight away and came over to him.
"Hello Gwaine, it's lovely to see you." She told him.
"It's very nice to see you to Morgana," Gwaine replied, "Shall we?" He gestured towards the medical flight.
"Of course." She said and put her hand on his arm, he put his other on top of it as they started to walk towards the medical flight.
They did detour to the side of the building Gwaine had led them to last night for a quick kiss, but it was the only one as people would be able to see, but it was still full of passion.
"My sweet Morgana, I can't wait to go out with you!" Gwaine panted as they broke apart.
"Me neither Gwaine." Morgana answered. They moved off towards the medical flight again mindful of Morgana not being late for duty.
Before they parted Gwaine told her "It looks like Excalibur will be repaired today, so we will probably be on Ops tonight – I'll know more when you finish your shift, so can I walk you back this afternoon when you're finished? That way I can tell you what's going on." He asked.
"I look forward to seeing you my love." Morgana told him and quickly kissed him on the lips, "Bye Gwaine." She said and turned and went inside.
"Bye Morgana." Gwaine said behind her.
Mid- morning found the boys out at Excalibur, the repairs had been completed, so now they were taking her up for a test flight. They were back 45 minutes later- everything ok. They would be flying tonight.
Freya took them back from the hardstanding to the crew room. All the boys thanked her as they got off Merlin stayed back for a couple of minutes- the boys let them have this time without hassle.
"Freya my sweet, we're going to be flying tonight so I'll try and see you tomorrow." He told her as he knelt down beside the driver's seat.
"Be safe Merlin and I'll see you tomorrow." She told him, she bent forward and kissed him lightly on the lips, she had a plan but was not going to tell him about it ….yet. He got off the bus turned and waved, Freya moved off.
Arthur was waiting for Gwen at 1350hrs near the Block. He saw her as soon as she came outside.
He went up to her and fell into step beside her. "Hello darling." He said as he took her hand and put it in its usual place.
"Hello Arthur, how are you today?" she asked.
"We went out and saw Excalibur this morning- the repairs are finished so we will be flying tonight." He told her.
"Well good luck and bring everyone back safe, but especially come back to me my love." She said as she turned towards him and reached up and kissed him. They broke apart and continued towards the medical flight, when they got there Gwen led him round the corner away from prying eyes. Arthur took her in his arms, bent down and kissed her fully on the lips.
When they broke apart Arthur said breathlessly "Oh my darling Guinevere, nothing can stop me coming back to you, I love you my sweetheart, and I'm going to tell you that every day!" he smiled down at her.
"I look forward to hearing it every day." Gwen told him.
Arthur looked at his watch 1412hrs he asked Gwen "Guinevere what time are you working tomorrow, so I can see you and let you know we are back."
"Early, my last shift before days off." She told him.
"Ok, that's a bit rough, an evening shift then an day shift then days off." He said.
"The joys of nursing!" Gwen replied.
"No the joy will be when I see you in the morning sweetheart." he took her in his arms again kissed the top of her head.
"I'd better go." Gwen said not wanting to at all.
"Ok, I'll be waiting for you in the morning darling." Arthur told her and kissed her again.
"I can't wait." Gwen told him, she turned and went into work.
Gwaine was waiting for Morgana in his spot against the wall of the medical flight. Gaius looked out and saw him, he went out to Morgana and said "Morgana there seems to be a F/Lt making himself comfortable against the wall outside, could he be waiting for you?"
"Yes sir, its F/Lt O'Connor he's in P/O Pendragon's crew and I'm going out with him." Morgana informed him, "I think their flying tonight."
"Right, well tell him he'd better behave or I'll be grilling him like I did P/O Pendragon." Gaius said with a smile.
"I heard about that last night when Gwen and I went out with P/O Pendragon and his crew." Morgana said smiling back at him.
"Ok off you go." He told her.
Morgana found Gwen, she said "Gwaine is waiting outside for me and Dr Hughes saw him, I'm to tell him to behave or he'll get a grilling like Arthur did." She smiled.
Gwen said "Arthur told me they will be flying tonight, he's going to walk me to work to let me know their safe in the morning."
Morgana told her "I'll wait up when you finish so we can have a cup of tea together, we can calm each other about the boys ok?"
"Ok Morgana I'll see you then." Gwen hugged her, Morgana went out to Gwaine.
"Hello Gwaine, been waiting a while?" Morgana asked.
"Long enough." Gwaine said coming over to her.
"Long enough to get noticed, Sqn Ldr Hughes saw you and has told me to tell you you're to behave or you'll get the grilling Arthur did." She smiled and kissed him.
"Ok thanks for the warning," Gwaine said "Shall we go?" he asked.
"Good idea." She replied.
Gwaine took her hand and placed it on his arm and started to lead her away, "We are going to be on ops tonight love, I thought I'd tell you." He said.
"Thankyou sweetheart but Gwen already told me, Arthur told her when he walked her to work this afternoon." Morgana told him.
"So what time are you working tomorrow?" he asked.
"I'm not, days off." She smiled.
"When I get up tomorrow do you want to go to the NAFFI?" he asked.
"Yes sounds like a good idea." she agreed.
"1400hrs?"
"It's a date." she said with a smile as they got closer to the Block.
"I'll see you then." He said and kissed her.
"Be safe my love." She told him as they broke apart.
"Your wish is my command," he smiled at her, then bent in and kissed her again, "I'd better go briefing could be any time." He told her when they came up for air.
"I'll be waiting for you Gwaine." She told him.
"That's why I'm coming back!" he bowed to her with his cheeky grin then turned and started to walk away, he could feel her watching him, he turned and waved she waved back and then went into the Block.
That night when they were going out to the crew bus Merlin got a surprise, sitting in the driver's seat was Freya.
When he got on board and in his usual seat he asked her "What are you doing here Freya?"
"Driving of course!" she told him as they moved off.
"No I mean you worked this morning, so why are you here now?" Merlin asked puzzled.
"I want to be the one that drives my man and his crew out and be the one to pick you up that way I know you got back safely." She told him.
"So this will be a regular thing?" he asked.
"Yes just like you sitting behind me! She smiled at him.
When she pulled up alongside Excalibur the rest of the crew all thanked her and got off, she turned in her seat to Merlin and said "See you when you get back love."
"You certainly will!" He told her and gave her a quick kiss then went and joined the rest of the boys.
It was a successful trip to Cologne. Freya was waiting for them when they got back. Excalibur was unscathed. Merlin sat behind her when she got them back to the crew room she turned to him "Lovely to see you back."
"Yes lovely to see you too!" Merlin bent down and kissed her deeply.
That morning Arthur waited for Gwen at their usual spot when she came out of the Block, she looked and saw him straight away, his hair plastered to his scalp from wearing the helmet. She ran into his arms, he spun around and kissed her.
"We're back!" he said when they broke apart.
"I'm glad to see it darling." She told him.
"Come we'd better get you to work." He replied. They walked off arm in arm, him telling her about the raid,
Gwaine met Morgana at the NAFFI on time. They sat in the corner and talked for over an hour while their teas went cold, other things were more important.
